i think the only idea of anonymous is to protect your posts from anybody you know personally who already knows your membername. i think it really is ridiculous to draw a line concerning how much is whose and whose else responsibility to keep your membername secret. this is the internet; it's not hard at all to keep your account separated from the real world if you try.

...but, i'm probably wrong about the feature's intended purpose and you two probably do have a point. it's just that i think that the mindset for which you argue takes things for granted way too much.

I suggest you stop using alcohol to make yourself feel better. You are not only putting yourself in danger, but are also ignoring the problem by drinking. By drinking, you're giving yourself a temporary high when you can go and find a permanent "high" - and I don't mean getting into drugs, etc.

Have you tried going to a doctor yourself? How old are you? You may want to think about telling your parents before your depression gets worse. I know it may seem hard, but after you've told them and gotten help, you'll feel much better afterward. If you don't want to talk to your parents, try talking to a trusted friend or family member who'll be able to help you to get the help you need. Many people have depression, and many of them are able to live a happy and healthy life because they got the help they needed.

Also, you mentioned breaking up with a boyfriend and still being in love with him - was this break up that caused the depression? As mean and evil as it may sound, unrequited love eventually fades. You have to distract yourself with other hobbies and people to get over him. Have you tried to start dating again? If not, perhaps you should. Once you get used to the idea of dating again, it'll be much easier to forget about him.

Good luck. You can always PM me if you want.

It also sounds like you have generalized anxiety disorder (you don't like to go out alone, you procrastinate with things like paying bills) coupled with depression.  This is even worse.  You should definitely go and talk to a counselor or a psychologist about your problems; having someone to talk to about your problems once a week is helpful in venting, letting it all out instead of keeping it bottled up inside, waiting to explode.

Another alternative is to see a psychiatrist, but more than likely you'll get useless crap that doesn't work and has too many adverse side-effects than something that DOES treat the problem.

hot- mix between sexy and beautiful

sexy- more of a pure attraction to sex/intercourse (big breasts and ass, etc.)

fine- attractive in a preppy proper way

pretty- mix between cute and sexy

gorgeous- mix between cute and beautiful

beautiful- attractive in terms of human perfection (my personal preference)

I know these definitions are kind of brief and it's hard to explain, PM me if you want a more in-depth description.

However, I believe you should seek help instead of just thinking it'll go away. While it may go away by itself, there's also a chance that it'll just get worse. Lots of people need help at least once in their life. You're just at a time in your life where you may need help from other people.

Talking to a professional would help you much better than I can. I myself am only 16. Simply talking to your best friend won't really help because she may not know what to do. A professional, on the other hand, will know what to do, or at least have an idea of what you may need.
